Requirements

Before You Install

  • Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit
  • A Klutch Gaming Compass connected via USB
  • No Java or other runtime needed — the app bundles its own

Windows SmartScreen Notice

Meridian isn't code-signed yet, so Windows will likely show "Windows protected your PC" on first launch. This is expected for a young open-source project — click More info, then Run anyway.

Getting Started

Up and Running in Minutes

01

Plug It In

Connect your Compass via USB. Meridian detects it automatically.

02

Pick a Profile

Start from a built-in preset (WASD, Arrow Keys, IJKL) or create your own.

03

Remap & Tune

Assign keys to each direction and adjust sensitivity to feel.

04

Apply

Your mapping saves straight to the device's onboard memory.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Compass not detected

Try unplugging and replugging the USB cable. Make sure no other app is using the serial port. Meridian will auto-reconnect within a few seconds.

Keys not registering in game

Make sure you clicked Apply after making changes. Try lowering the deadzone value (slide toward More Sensitive). Some games require the Compass to be plugged in before launching.

Diagonals not registering

Lower the Diagonal deadzone slider toward More Sensitive. The diagonal deadzone controls how far the secondary axis needs to move when you're already pushing in a direction.

Mapping resets after unplugging

Make sure you click Apply before unplugging. Your mapping is saved to the device's flash memory and should persist across power cycles.

Firmware

Updating Your Compass

Meridian checks for new firmware on connect and links you to the changelog when one's available, but doesn't flash it automatically yet. To update manually:

  1. 1. Put the Compass into UF2 bootloader mode — it'll appear as a USB mass-storage drive.
  2. 2. Download the latest .uf2 file from GitHub Releases.
  3. 3. Drag the file onto that drive. The Compass will reboot automatically once it's done.
